Nothing
Not cash, not future considerations, not a mascot, not a bat or even a resin bag. The Brewers felt they were better off with Nothing instead of Tyner.
I mean, did they just sit him on the side of the road next to an old couch & wait for another team to come pick him up?

Tigers Director of Minor League Operations Dan Lunetta says the Brewers simply assigned his contract to the Tigers organization.
John McDonald supposedly got traded for a PTBNL that ended up himself. thast wohat one of the poster put on MLBTR... is this true
Rotoworld has it listed as "Tigers acquired minor league outfielder Jason Tyner from the Brewers for future considerations."

Well, I hope Tyner's momma loves him, because nobody else seems to.
Aww. I always root for this guy because hes one of the few pro baseball players to come out of this area. That really sucks.
But, its kinda funny too...
What area of Texas are you in? Tons of players have come out of the state.

The only ones I can think of in Baseball who have come from the surrounding area within the past few years are Ben Weber, Tyner, Eric Cammack, and Clay Buchholz (Well, I think he was born in my town and grew up about 30 minutes away from here). Weber and Cammack are retired too.
Now about 2 hours away is Houston and I know a bunch of people have come from there.
